Mangala S Patel

You can find me, Mangala S Patel, at units 15 and 16 inside the Kalpana Shopping Center. It’s right on Rander Road. Being in a shopping center means there’s always people walking past and a bit of noise from the other shops. I’ve had these two units for quite some time now. It’s a good spot because everyone knows where Rander Road is. Kalpana Shopping Center is an older place, but it’s sturdy and has a lot of character. I spend most of my day here, usually behind the counter or tidying up the back. It’s not a massive operation, just me and the space I’ve got. I don’t bother with big advertisements or anything like that. People just see the sign when they are out doing their shopping. Sometimes I’ll have a tea with the owner of the shop next door. It’s that kind of place. Rander Road stays busy from morning till night, but inside the center, it’s a bit more relaxed. I like the routine of opening up the units every morning. It’s a simple life and the work is steady. I don’t try to be anything I’m not. Just Mangala S Patel running a local spot in Kalpana Shopping Center. If you’re ever in the area, you’ll see the units. They are basic and functional, which is exactly how I like things to be. No polish, just regular business.
